Thanksgiving at Angela's Place!

YES!! I celebrated thanksgiving twice!! this time at Angela's house. We got to know her through the Monte Jade Seminar. She works for J&J, executive marketing officer I think, not too sure ^_^ She's a Singaporean just like us! hehe.. So we could really get along well :) Angela is such a nice person, invited us to her house to EAT ALL WE WANT hehe..

outside Angela's house

me, niki and gean in her pretty house! :)

me and niki ^_^

Pacey trying to play the chinese "gu zhen" haha

mouth watering appetizers!!! :D



that's Angela! (with our turkey~ XD)


our turkey~ YUM! ^_^

stupid lawrence~ guess u wanted me to eat the whole turkey by myself haha :p

me and andy with our beloved turkey~ awww.. (shh.. u get 1 drumstick, i get the other~)

lol.. me and law checking out the turkey as andy removes the stuffing (waiting to prance n eat the turkey already haha)

our thanksgiving dinner!!! muahahahahaha~~

Pacey cutting the turkey while Andy steals the drumstick haha..

and andy succeeds lol..


andy and gean with the turkey's wish bone (with law being so extra haha)

it is said that the person who holds the wish bone of the turkey can get his or her wish come true haha.. since the turkey only has 1 wish bone, gean and andy had to fight for it lol.. andy want a gf lar, and gean confirm wan her bf to propose asap hehe.. in the end, when the wish bone broke, andy got the main piece, which meant that his wish will come true! poor gean lol.. gean dun worry lar.. ur bf preparing ler!! XD

our remnants haha..

the turkey was SOOOO delicious!! yum yum~~ (but char and adrian, yours still the best though! ^_^) we simply stuffed ourselves with food haha..

ate the whole night..

we had to!

cos we were preparing for a marathon..

the one and only:

BLACK FRIDAY MIDNIGHT MADNESS SALE AT WOODBURRY!! WOHOO!!!~ :D

black friday is the day after thanksgiving, it is a tradition where all the shops have amazing sales, but starting at the stroke of midnight after thanksgiving hehe~ me, law and pacey had been planning for this shopping trip for months!!! this is one of our last crazy shopping trips at woodbury (i hope =X lol..)

but before i start on our race, we helped angela to wash up and pick out the rest of the meat from the turkey, cos angela was gonna prepare for us her real famous dish.. turkey porridge!! i've heard so much about it from adrian.. last time when he visited her, she also cooked turkey for them and turkey porridge in the morning.. now it's our turn to try it!!

all of us picking on the juicy succulent meat~

helping to clean up

that's angela's bf Eric btw, he's a very nice guy ^_^

okok... midnight madness sale!! here we come!!! :D

traffic jam

it was a horrendous traffic jam to woodbury, everyone were on their way there too haha.. (if not then just their luck to be stuck there :p) and then the UFO came down (as seen in the pic) and offered to teleport us to woodbury immediately if we would help them get good deals.. so we declined.. this is not the time for mercy!! good deals for us!! lol..

nah, i'm just kidding haha..

anyway, when we finally reached woodbury after getting stuck in the jam for 2 hrs, we still had a hard time finding a parking lot.. when we did find a parking space, some korean guys tried to fight with us for that space.. rude horrible people.. they even spat on geans car after we let them take the slot.. but nvm.. it's shopping!! muahaha..

we started shopping at 2am.. the crowd was simply crazy!! queues were everywhere, all the popular stores had long queues to enter.. we ended up spending most of our time queueing to go into the shops lol.. but actually the stuff there were really quite crappy lar, that's why they were cheap.. good stuffs were still original price sadly lol.. in the end, i only bought 4 items for myself.. totaling of $270!! this is because, i spent on the biggest buy for the first time in my life...

super duper long queue outside COACH..

AND.. i was one of them ahahaha...

my new COACH bag~




this is the most expensive item that i own in my entire life.. paid $172 for it!! >.<

actually the situation which i bought it was quite screwed up.. me and gean spent more than an hour queueing up to get into the store and when we finally got in, we checked out all the stuffs and sales there.. gean took 2 items while i got this bag. i was thinking to myself that the bag was so pretty but yet so ex.. people are paying so much just for the brand! then gean came up to me and said: ok, let's go pay up! i was like O_O"!!!

i said: "but.. but.. i'm still thinking!!" (refresh: thinking about why people pay so much for brand)

so gean said: dun need think lah, next time go work sure will use 1.. good investment..

lol.. and we both went to the cashier to pay up while i was still pretty stunned ROFL... oh well, doesn't matter, i really love my new bag, so chic!! falling deeper and deeper in love with it! ^_^ (yes, i still love u more dear hehe~)

other stuffs i bought:

Calvin Klein bag to dump all my books ^_^


Ralph Lauren Classic Polo Tee~

costs a BOMB in Singapore btw hehe~

my French Connection United Kingdom (FCUK) jacket! :D

also a sudden buy bcos of gean lol.. but i shall not expose how i decided to buy it here ahahaha...

then i helped my friend, Annan to help him buy 2 watches. here they are! :)

Fossil watch

Michael Kors (refurbished)

although the MK watch is refurbished, it is nonetheless a great steal!!!!!! $30 (before tax) only!!! wohoo!!

Annan: please tell me you don't like the MK watch.. i'd gladly take it! hahaha..

then i also bought some other gifts, including Alicia's advanced bdae pressie ^_^ wanted to help char grab the stuff she wanted, but unfortunately, the stuff she wanted ( 2 tees) were too crappy, so decided not to buy.

anyway, we literally shopped till we dropped.. me and gean shopped till 2pm the next day lol... we were simply so exhausted!! law, pacey, shamir, niki and grace (angela's daughter who joined us) couldn't take it and went to the car to sleep much earlier while waiting for us haha.. andy and rex came back slightly later than us ahaha..

after the long marathon, it was time to get back to angela's house.. to our long awaited.. TURKEY PORRIDGE! ^_^


yummiest porridge i've eaten in my life.. and i really mean it!!!

the porridge was simply so good.. i've never tasted anything that nice before!! it made me and gean touched to the verge of tears haha.. angela even prepared lotsa dumplings and meatballs for us! and she had a bottle of chilli sause!! woots!! so good!!! i couldn't stop eating haha... simply amazing food~ mmmmmm~ ^_^

then we had dessert!!

yummy~~ :D

all of us with Angela, Eric (her bf), Grace and JJ (her kids)

we had a great time together, chit chatting about all the stuffs in singapore (local jokes haha) and with andy and pacey keep making lotsa sexist jokes haha.. oh well..

what a great thanksgiving. ^_^ a real memorable event in my life :)
